• Description:
  This document defines a test plan for a Shakedown test of the newly refurbished Texas Mobile Load Simulator (TxMLS). The test will be performed at the Texas Accelerated Pavement Testing (TxAPT) Center, which is currently under construction at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus in Austin, Texas, with an expected completion date in August 2003. Originally the Shakedown test was to be carried out by TxAPT staff in conjunction with the first research study, Project 0-4574. TxDOT decided to separate these two activities; therefore the Shakedown test will be the responsibility TxAPT Center staff, and the first research study, hereinafter referred to as the Pilot Study, will be performed under Project #0-4574 titled “Determination of the Impact of HB2060 Permits on Texas Load Zone Roads” at the University of Texas at Austin, Center for Transportation Research (CTR).
